Increasingly convinced that the end of the family (whose failure to end was the great disappointment of 20th century modernization, and whose regeneration [& even strengthening, as parents now psychologically condition their children to capture them and not just rely on control of resource bottlenecks] is upstream of modern evils like SJWism and Apple fucking w/ Tumblr) is going to involve a country that requires a population buildup (after war, disease, or decadence, or in the face of a challenge they’ll need military manpower against) faster than their existing population can support individual in-home production of children, leading to a generation with no experience of family to attempt to reproduce going forward.

I suppose the fall of Roe v. Wade and the restriction of abortion might be of aid in America as more unplanned pregnancies go to birth and children return to being something that happens, rather than conditional on a plan parents’re invested in.

I suppose the precedents to look to here would be Ceausescu’s Romania and Hoxha’s Albania, communist countries who undertook natalist policies to build up manpower as a guard against Soviet annexation.

Or maybe there’s something in the Ottoman devşirme system by which children were taken from subject populations and raised institutionally to become an elite army and administrative corps, though the whole point there was they were distinct from core civilian cultures, which they didn’t remake in their image even when when they were a power-holding class.

So in general, look to Albania.
